The 100 MPH club and it's probably not the first thing that came to your mind...

64 Drivers Cited for Exceeding 100 MPH Speeds in 2010 Driving Season

NCHORAGE, Alaska-Although speed limit signs are posted throughout Anchorage, some motorists choose to ignore the lawful speed.
These motorists endanger not only their own lives by driving at reckless speeds, but also the lives of other motorists as well as cyclists and pedestrians.

During the 2010 driving season, 20 officers in the Anchorage Police Deparment issued citations to 64 motorists for driving at speeds in excess of 100 mph-amounting to a staggering $34,484 in fines.

But what's that old adage? Something about all work and no play

APD spokesperson Lt. Dave Parker said it best-"In typical cop-like fashion Patrol and Traffic officers like to keep track of their performance and of course make a contest out of it."

From that contest, the Summer "100 MPH Board" was born. Now in its fifth year, the Board tracks the number of citations issued to drivers for exceeding speeds of 100 mph.

Police say while no prize or trophy is awarded, chart-toppers get a healthy dose of bragging rights among colleagues and the satisfaction of keeping the public safe for another year.

Seems pretty cheap for 89mph over the limit. In Polk County Fl it would be $2,640 for over 50 mph then doubled for the constrution site law. A mandatory court appearance and I would image a reckless driving charge added to this. Bare minimum of $5280 + court costs and attorney fees.

Always thought it would be difficult to achieve double the speed limit (or more) unless the speed was only 25 or 30. After that, it just seems to crazy to try and go that fast and too risky. And I'm still somewhat young and dumb!

Some ares just beg for it, I know that there are some long smooth stretches of highway that are so rural that they don't have exits for 10 -20 miles and the cars just fly. I just try and remember to not be going the fastest.

I'm amazed they caught him, image how fast they hd to accelerate and chase him him fast enough to catch him.Remnds me of the small town sheriffs cars with built up hemis back n the 60's and 70's, those cars would fly in chase mode. Like the old commerical used to say as they pulled the driver over "Boy you in a heap a trouble".

I got clocked at over 100 on the interstate (in a car) in one of the Carolinas once. :nono: The tropper was way nice. Only wrote me up for 19 mph over the speed limit. He said anymore than that would be a court apperance, showed me on the back of the ticket where I could pay him a $20 fine and be on my way!
Them was the good old days.

All right, all right, all right! Time to throw a leg over the bike, get your knees in the breeze, and ride across the land in search of the next mark in the 2020 Scavenger Hunt!
Rules are easy and casual:
Once a mark is named, the first person to post a picture of their bike with the mark...

Haven't had any time to post. House is up for sale, got a purchase agreement, looking for a house in Tennessee. I've never trailered a bike but once, dealer strapped it down. Gotta search on how to strap. Compress forks or not compress them. Looking forward to the move. House inspection is...

When I was looking into a batwing fairing I felt like there wasn't an detailed enough review of the Tsukayu GPS Fairing, and what one should think about when installing. So here is a review, good and the bad.
When I was google searching I saw complaints about the speakers, and that it doesn't...
